What is the modern item method?
This is a new way to create items graphics. The old resource property is replaced by the new property graphics which is easier to use and has more features.
Generating items automatically
material property is not mandatory anymore. paper will be used by default.
From a texture
Automatically generate the modern item + model from a texture.
modern_texture:
name: Modern Texture
graphics:
texture: item/modern_texture
From a model
Automatically generate the modern item and use a specific model file.
modern_model:
name: Modern Model
graphics:
model: item/modern_model
Block from textures
In this case ItemsAdder automatically detects you want to create a block (because it has the block behaviour) so the parent will automatically be block/cube.
If you do not specify the block behaviour, it would use the paper parent which is minecraft:item/generated.
modern_textures_block:
name: Modern Model Block Textures
graphics:
textures:
north: block/modern_textures_block_north
south: block/modern_textures_block_south
east: block/modern_textures_block_east
west: block/modern_textures_block_west
up: block/modern_textures_block_up
down: block/modern_textures_block_down
behaviours:
block:
placed_model:
type: REAL_NOTE
Block from a single texture
Automatically generate the modern item and use a specific model file (in this case it generates a multi face block).
modern_textures_block_2:
name: Modern Model Block Textures 2
graphics:
texture: block/modern_textures_block_all
behaviours:
block:
placed_model:
type: REAL_NOTE
Block from a specific parent (cross for example)
Automatically generate the modern item + model from textures (in this case it generates a multi face block).
In this case I set a custom parent for the model to be generated. I can specify the textures to be linked to the cross template in this case.
modern_textures_block_cross:
name: Modern Model Block Textures Cross
graphics:
icon: block/modern_textures_block_all
parent: block/cross
textures:
cross: block/modern_textures_block_all
behaviours:
block:
placed_model:
type: REAL_WIRE
You can even just set texture instead, since the vanilla block/cross model has only one layer (cross), so ItemsAdder will automatically assign the texture to it.
modern_textures_block_cross:
name: Modern Model Block Textures Cross
graphics:
icon: block/modern_textures_block_all
parent: block/cross
texture: block/modern_textures_block_all
behaviours:
block:
placed_model:
type: REAL_WIRE

Templates and variants
You can make variants of an item pretty easily.
Variants inherit everything from a template item (that won't be available ingame).
